Hump Day Happy Hour

Coconut water has been the health drink of athletes and celebs for some time now, and has even been credited as a hangover helper. Upping the health value of your happy hour, the potassium-packed drink is being added to cocktails, as well.

Coconut water cocktails are light, refreshing and faintly nutty. We suggest you spend the last few days of summer with one of this week's coconut creations in hand.
